College coaches on the hot seat at the halfway point of the 2017 season

We are at the halfway point of the college football season, which makes it a good opportunity to see who out there has underwhelmed thus far. Several coaches entered the season squarely on the hot seat and needed strong showings to continue in their current positions. Others have gotten off to tough starts and added their names to an ever-growing list. Some have even turned it around a bit and stopped the vultures from circling.

The men on the list come from a variety of schools with a variety of expectations. Some are expected to not only challenge for conference titles, but for national championships. Others just need to have winning seasons and bowl appearances.
